Lightning strikes are represented by lightning bolt icons

. Lightning

appears on the weather Precipitation chart if strikes were detected within the

last seven minutes. The ground-based lightning detection network detects

cloud-to-ground lightning only.

Hurricane Information

The weather Precipitation chart can show the present position of a hurricane

, a tropical storm, or a tropical depression. A red line stemming from a

hurricane icon indicates the projected path

of the hurricane. Darkened dots

on the red line indicate the projected locations through which the hurricane

will pass, as received from the weather data provider.

Weather Warnings and Weather Bulletins

When a marine weather warning, weather watch, weather advisory, weather

bulletin, or other weather statement is issued, shading

indicates the area

to which the information applies. To view information about the warning or

bulletin, select the shaded area. The aqua lines

on the chart indicate the

boundaries of marine forecasts, coastal forecasts, and offshore forecasts.

Weather bulletins may consist of either weather watches or weather

advisories.
See the Appendix (

page 19

) to view a list of color shading descriptions.
